Good value power cord

Pros: Cheap. Hasn't caught on fire yet.
Cons: None so far.
Works OK, but is too loud

Pros: Works. Minimalist faceplate with nice, large eject button.
Cons: Very loud, and the drive tray is a but flimsy. There are other comparably-priced drives available on Newegg, such as the Sony Optiarc, that are quieter and offer same-or-better performance.
Overall Review: IDE performance seems noticeably worse than SATA.... I'll spend the extra two dollars next time....
Good for budget system or HTPC

Pros: Quiet, fanless design (also a con... see below). Lots of video output options on this card (HDMI, DVI, VGA). Great value after discount and rebate.
Cons: The card's heatsink was MUCH bigger than expected, and takes up two slots worth of space on my system (I also place part of the blame for this on the motherboard layout). Also, EVGA should really just include a low profile bracket with this card. I ended up having to pay half as much for the bracket as I did for the entire card!
Overall Review: Runs pretty warm without a fan, so overclocking this card is not really an option.
Decent choice for storage

Pros: Low price-per-gigabyte. Makes a good storage drive.
Cons: Drive performance was not quite as good as I expected.
Best keyboard value I've seen

Pros: CHEAP, usb, good feel when typing. The keys give a moderate amount of feedback and are relatively quiet--no clicking noises here. Also doesn't have any annoying/ugly logo printed on it. Build quality is surprisingly good; you could mistake it for a keyboard that costs two or three times as much.
Cons: Cord could be just a bit longer.
An excellent choice for optical drive

Pros: This drive is a great value, has Sony brand/reliability, works as expected. Some reviewers have complained about the noise of the drive and/or drive tray, but I find it surprisingly quiet actually. Yeah, it makes noise when you're burning a disc at max speed, but what do you expect?
Cons: None yet. Was hoping I'd at least get some drive screws taped to the side of the thing, but no big deal.
Overall Review: Yeah,
